Millet Poha is a healthy take on the regular poha recipe where the poha (flattened rice) is replaced with flattened millet. It is perfect to serve for breakfast or evening snacks (vegan, gluten-free).

Ingredients
1 and ½
cup
millet poha
I used kodo millet poha but you can choose bajra poha, jowar poha, or mixed millet poha.
2
tablespoons
vegetable oil
1
teaspoon
cumin seeds
10-12
curry leaves
½
cup
peanuts
½
cup
chopped onions
2
teaspoons
chopped green chilies
1
tablespoon
lime juice
½
teaspoon
turmeric powder
1
teaspoon
sugar
½
teaspoon
salt
or to taste
2
tablespoons
chopped cilantro (coriander)
Instructions
Wash poha well with water. Soak the poha in 2-3 cups of water for 40-50 seconds until it is slightly softened.
Do not over-soak the poha otherwise, it will become mushy.
Drain the poha in a colander and keep it aside. The poha will absorb the residual water and soften by the time the tempering is ready.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and curry leaves and let them crackle for 4-5 seconds.
Add the peanuts to the pan and saute for 40-50 seconds until they are crispy.
Now add onions and green chilies and saute until the onions turn translucent (2-3 minutes).
Add lime juice, turmeric powder, sugar, and salt and mix well.
Add the soaked poha and cilantro and mix everything well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Check for the salt and add more if required.
Serve hot!
